1 The Inhaled Steroid Treatment As Regular Therapy in Early Asthma (START) study 5- year follow-up: Effectiveness of early intervention with budesonide in mild persistent asthma  William W. Busse, MD, Søren Pedersen, MD, Romain A. Pauwels, MD, Wan C. Tan, MD, Yu-Zhi Chen, MD, Carl Johan Lamm, PhD, Paul M.

2 Fig 1 Study design. Patients were randomized to double-blind treatment with inhaled budesonide, 200 μg (aged <11 years) or 400 μg once daily through a Turbuhaler, or placebo plus usual asthma therapy for 3 years. After 3 years, all patients received 2 years of open-label treatment with inhaled budesonide once daily plus usual asthma therapy.

5 Fig 4 Cumulative probability of having a first SARE. The curves are based on life-table estimates (interval width, 0.25 years) by using all patients entered into the study. The number of patients at risk in the budesonide (Reference) group is 3597 (3568) at time 0, 2613 (2486) at time 2.50 years, and 2337 (2195) at time 4.50 years.
